What really sets us apart is our people.

With 35% year-on-year growth for the past five years, ambitious plans and a team of talented, driven individuals, we're creating an environment where people can build meaningful careers, make a genuine impact and grow alongside the business.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the challenge of creating new opportunities and closing deals.

Before accounts are assigned, our marketing team runs targeted campaigns to warm prospects and increase engagement, giving you a stronger platform for meaningful conversations and higher conversion rates. You'll manage your own activity, nurture prospects through the early stages of the sales cycle, and play a key role within a high-performing sales team.

With ambitious growth plans, a market-leading commission scheme and we have a clear pathway into a Senior Business Development Manager role, this is an excellent opportunity for a driven sales professional looking to accelerate their career within a fast-growing SaaS business.

For our Senior BDM role, as a senior member of the team, you'll lead by example through your performance, activity and professionalism.
